You can - at long last in a digital game that's not Magic - actually do things during your opponent's turn. "Here," it's saying, "is a medium where we can do weird stuff. Hex, on the other hand, wants the complexity a digital card game can bring to the table. Me VS the AI: Yeah, this looks like visual stew, but the only thing that matters is the flying 8/10. You take a turn, they take a turn and nothing else gets in the way. And while Hearthstone might force you to think about combat math, it is woefully simple otherwise. Where there's an interesting wrinkle or two with Spellweaver, it's done an odd thing with it's mana system that makes it difficult to play more than three colours. Hex is one thing several of these other card games are not, you see.
And in Hex's case, that's kind of a shame. This would probably help all these other games, but the population count for all of them is too low. Hearthstone managed to get this right by realizing that you need a proper matchmaking system. And as with most of these games, the PVP generally isn't. Spellweaver proved that when the game is a CCG and your playerbase are "top heavy" your PVP had better be up to snuff. And, quite frankly, I'm not a fan of playing against other players. You get some cards, you make a deck and you do Player versus Player activities until your eyes bleed. Up until the Adventure Zone, Hex was pretty much like the current crop of CCG's. Then, in 2015, the Frost Ring Arena arrived and gave us our first real taste of what the PVE might feel like, but then, in January of 2016, we got the first real concrete part of what might be the long-term future for Hex in the form of an Adventure Zone.
PVP was with us during the beta and used to be the only way you could get coin. Someday.Īnyhow, the main point is that Hex has a number of features that are slowly being delivered and - for the longest time, it looked like they probably weren't going to deliver them. While, on the one hand, it's great that Kickstarter gave us this game, on the other, it's a good look at how promises can be made.and made.and made and you might get the advertised game. But at least some of it's future is now with us in the form of the Player Versus Environment game that they had promised since way back when in 2013, when they launched their Kickstarter.Īnd this, friends, is why Kickstarter isn't always a great idea. PVE: You make a guy and you go spelunking in dungeons, gaining cards for your ever-growing collection as you go. The Hex Player Versus Environment game is awesome and I wish more card games would do it.
